How will they survive such a thorough slamming?

I can’t wait until we are on the other side of the slammed. I am sure it will be replaced by an equally annoying word choice.

Gosh, I pray they're not using Photoshop as well! Won't someone think of the children??

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

Photoshop still requires human creative input and isn't built on a foundation of theft

They have their own Bing Image Creator. Obviously they'd prefer to use their own tool instead of hiring artists. Everyone with two working brain cells saw this coming. (I'm not defending it, it was just obvious the day Bing Image Creator was launched.)

This is why we need a rule that if you incorporate your logo into AI art, your logo becomes public domain.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

This is technically already legal precedence in USA, copyright requires human expression and without sufficient human creative control in ML generated works they're effectively public domain

Edit: why downvotes?

Yes, for the imagery itself, but their logo is still under trademark. What I’m saying is if you put your logo on AI generated imagery and release it to the public, you no longer own a trademark for your logo.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That's not how courts are going to treat it. Public domain (lack of) licensing is not "infectious". Instead you can just cut out the trademark and reuse ML images because under current legal precedence they're in public domain but the trademark isn't

[–] hperrin 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I understand that. I’m saying I want to change that.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Good luck with that

I'm guessing so the maintainers of the AI don't have to worry about copyright when it uses the logo somewhere unexpected. But I'm curious what OP says.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I really don't care one way or the other. I think AI being used is an inevitability. I think it would only really be relevant if Microsoft had a policy against AI being used in games for things like asset generation for example.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 11 months ago (4 children)

gods am i glad microsoft didn't have to dip into their literal trillion dollar valuation to pay independent artists any money at all to advertise the independent developers they're so gleeful to take credit for

[–] clearleaf 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It wouldn't be an independent artist it would be a marketing company

[–] RagingRobot 0 points 11 months ago

Yeah or an artist they already have on salary. This was just less work for someone already working for them.

It doesn't matter if you all don't like ai art. It's not going away and it will only continue to be more prevalent.

You should embrace it. I say this as someone who has a ton of debt from art school still. Resistance is futile.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I'm not defending Microsoft. They're a soulless corporation releasing an ad around a holiday where a lot of people have time off and recently received gift cards and spending cash. I don't think them paying for an artist one time when they hope to use AI for a majority of their throwaway adverts really matters.

This is such a pointlessly smarmy comment.
